Hi, I'm trying to set up a Hardware UART from my PC to my MSP430G2553. I need the HW UART because it's faster than the software UART which has problems when going faster than 9600 b/s. I need the bandwidth so I can set up a 100 kHz oscilloscope.
I have DE-9 RS-232 port available on my PC, but from my understanding the serial port has a 12V logic level and the MSP430 uses 3.3V.
What adapter should I use?
Also, how do I program a MSP430 without a launchpad? The user's hardware guide says it's possible via JTAG or UART but doesn't go over the details.
